What with me being a complete Mr. Grumpy Face over the last couple of days, I completely forgot (as grumpy faces will) about all the things that also made me smile over the past few days.

Chief among them were the wonderful fandom_stocking presents got from lovely people. If you haven't seen some of them them pop up elsewhere, drop over and enjoy them at the stocking.

I got a Santa-hat Kitteh holiday wish from chokolattejedi, another equally lovely greeting from noveltea , and yet more from ariestess , plus a lovely sparkly New Year's wish from twinsarein . Thank you all!

livii dropped by and brightened my day with her good wishes, as did canaana and ladymercury_10 , (who did so with a wonderful GIF of Amy/Karen and a be-fezzed Eleven/Matt.)

kerravonsen noticed that I love the Vorkosiverse and induced massive squeeage by making and giving me an icon of Miles and Ekaterin — the icon I've used for this post, as a matter of fact!

joking gifted me with hours of reading and viewing pleasure, with a rec list of TARDIS-related stories and more. Boy, does she know me well ... and the very kind dunderklumpen indulged my Criminal Minds habit with links to some great CM pic spams - woo-hoo!

wendymr provided me with a wonderful drabble in which the TARDIS shows her love for Jack; yamx revealed the real proxiimate cause of the fall of Troy, complete with horse *snrk*; the wonderful dameruth and the gifted lyricwrites presented me with wonderful Jenny/Vastra stories; st_aurafina wrote me a sly and witty OT3-with-added-Awesome Donna that made me grin very widely; and the lovely sahiya wrote me a story in which the Doctor and River brought me to tears, in a good way.

And you with yours ... as so many of us did this year, I was not nearly as profligate with stocking stuffers as I wanted to be, but the Stocking effort is wonderful because no one wakes up to an empty knee-sock. Heh.
